 Imagine the mental gymnastics required to think funding open source devs is bad

Thanks for teaching us about good devs

 What I have learned is if a man pumps your fiat bags people would trust them to look after their kids 😂. Everyone loves Saylor for pumping their bags he can do no wrong! 🤦. Can someone just ask him? No more softball questions on podcasts please.

 This is untrue. Deal with truth. 

Nobody loves Saylor. He’s very unlikeable to be honest. But dumb takes are dumb takes.  

How would you word the question?  What is the actual question?  Go. I’d love to see it written.

 Isn’t the incentive for devs to maintain Bitcoin built in the protocol? Devs owning coin should be all that’s needed and represent a purer incentive compared to Wall Street money imo. 

Donations welcome of course but should be extra.

 There's a nominal incentive to keep the protocol from dying. But that is very different from the kind of incentive that is giving us anything that requires full time commitment. Like all these amazingly private lightning wallets.

 Since there's an accusation made, the question is pretty straight forward. Is it true that you have threatened an ETF issuer to wreck them if they supported open source devs? And if so, why?

 He’s an officer at a public company dummy. 
What he’s accused of is so illegal it’s not even funny. 

How fucking dumb are people?

 Telling a public business manager that their proposed strategy is crap and if they keep implementing it you'll use the financial system to go against them is not illegal. Otherwise the jails would be cramped with hedge funds employees.

Regardless, you asked what the question was, I gave you the question. Whether he decides to answer it honestly, dishonesty or not answering at all its a different story. A good journalist/communicator should ask the question anyway and press within reason to get the answer.

 That’s not what’s been implied you simpleton. 
Read Odell’s slander again.

 While I agree that supporting open source developers is important, I believe that it is equally important to support other types of software developers as well. After all, proprietary software can also be innovative and contribute to progress in the tech world. It's not a question of either/or, but rather both/and.
